The Southern Strawberry Crop.

The mild fall which the truck farm
ers have been experiencing up to a
day or two ago has been extremely
favorable to the truckers crop. One
OF the crops in which Savannahians
are deeply interested in the strawberry
crops. This does not promise to be
anything like the usual yield. There
were few strawberry plants set out
and they did not do well, so that
Savannah will have 10 depend largely
on Florida and Charleston for her her,
ries. The Carolina crop is reported to
be very promising. Owing to the con-
tinued dry weather during the plant
ing season it was expected that the
crop would be almost total loss.
September and October are the usual
months for planting, but the heat and
drought killed most of the plants
which were set out at that time. The
recent heavy rains and the late warm
weather, however, have relieved the
situation of the farmers to a very
great extent. A great deal Of late
planting has been done. With the
mild weather the plants have come
up very nicely, and there is now prom

A Novelty in Church Decorations

Grace NJ. E. Church, Baltimore, in
troduced the novelty of harvest home
decorations for Thanksgiving Day,
combined with practical charity, on
an extensive scale. If the beauty of
thing depends upon its usefulness,
the striking decorations of this church
were lovely indeed. On a platform

the whole display, 1anked by stalks
of corn 16 feet high. on which the
yellow ears were growing, and large
sheaves of wheat. A golden cornu-
copia, or horn of plenty, u feet long

carrots, beets, turnips, cabbage, and a
great variety of other things were
artistically arranged around. aggrega-
ting several tons OF household supplies.
After service large quantities of these
edibles were given to the neighboring
poor, who carried them away in bas-
Kets; IN some casts they were unable
to carry the baskets, AMI in some
cases barrels of good4 were sent to
the needy. The Aged Women's

man, the city missionary, received the
residue. Chas. w. Raphun was the
artist who designed the decorations
and made the smilax- trimmed comm

treasurer, carried a plethoric bag

ton of the day. Its contents are To
be divided between the Saturday and
Sunday Hospital Association and the

packed throughout the service, peo-
pie standing in the aisles. The pastor.

never seen one that equaled the one

Drain the Marshes.

The marshes of Delaware have been
for more than a century a source OF
malaria and mosquitoes in almost un.
limited quantities, and have conse-
quently furnished the people of the
State with constant and grievous an
noyance. Yet it seems well settled bv
Investigations made some few wears
ago by Chief Justice Comegys that
these marshes can be drained sufficient
ly to rid them of their noxious charac-
ter at a cost not exceeding $4,000.
Besides the sanitary benefits that
would result from draining these
marshes there are thousands of acres
at the foot of the " fast lands" and
along creeks and branches that would
then be susceptible of easy drainage
and improvement. The results that
could be derived for an outlay of
$4,000 in this direction would nav
richly for the Observation-Disclosures Farm

The Sorghum Outlook.

1t is claimed that the experiments
this year at Fort Scott, Kansas, in
making sugar from sorghum have re-
suited in success. From a ton of cane
100 pounds of fine sugar have been
made, with 20 pounds as seconds. be-
sides ten gallons of syrup. 1t is claim
ed that the seed will pay for cultivating
the plants, and one man can cultivate
from 40 to so acres, and an acre will
produce u tons of cane, and a ton of
cane will yield bushels of seed. Tt is
expected ton of cane will make 200
pounds of sugar when everything
works all right. The sugar cane, it is
said, of the South produces an average
of 100 pounds of sugar to the ton.
There must be quite a per cent of en-
thusiasm in the above claims, but then
it takes enthusiasm to win.

How to Catch Rabbits.

The firm of r. w. Cameron & Co..
of New York, who are agents for the
| government of New South Wales. an
nOunce that they are in receipt of a
communication offering a reward by
that government of 1925, 900 to Ameri-
can inventors for any process which
will exterminate rabbits, which have
become a pest throughout Australia
and New Zealand, and which threaten
to destroy not only all the vegetables.
but even the sheep pasturage of the
entire country. 1t is little singular
that the rabbit, which has thus devel-
oped into a national danger in Austria
la, Is, according to the dispatch, the
llneal descendant of the English rabbit,
which has never given any great trou-
bic at home. Brer Rabbit" in fact.
has generally been regarded in this
country and in England as a very in
offensive and retiring citizen, indeed
too retiring for those who are inclined
to force themselves on his society. The
reward promised by the government of
New South Wales offers an opportuni-
ty for an American inventor of genius
to make handsome fortune, and at
the same time to win golden opinions
from all the inhabitants of Australia
except the rabbits. We do not pretend
to be inventors. and we scarcely ex-
pect the idea will be accepted by the
government of New South Wales. but
we would mOdestly suggest that if it
would have some five or ten million
tar babies set up throughout Australia
as Uncle Remus's Brer Fox did in his
garden in Georgia, the government
might find Brer Rabbit" securely
anchored in the morning, and be able
to get its sleep hereafter of nights. If
there should be disposition to regard
this suggestion favorably and to for
ward the $125,OOO reward, we may add
that we will be glad to receive it in
time for our Christmas stocking.
